Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 5,922 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,410 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 10R at KBOI Boise Air Terminal/Gowen Field, a movement that required 10 minutes and covered 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 10R, the Boeing 737-800 accelerated to a liftoff speed of 151 kt and left the ground after traveling 6,191 ft, which represented 64 % of the runway length. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 66 °F, wind from 090° at 2 kt, a crosswind component of 2 kt and a tailwind component of 1 kt.
The climb began 1 mile southeast of KBOI, with the aircraft ascending from 3,838 ft asl to 37,002 ft asl, a gain of 33,164 ft achieved in 19 minutes while covering 133 nm.
The first cruise segment started 7 miles southeast of 1U0 Bear Trap Airport and continued for 120 minutes, during which the airplane flew 990 nm at level altitude.
Descent phase one commenced 4 miles northeast of KMPZ Mount Pleasant Municipal Airport, with a reduction from 36,847 ft asl to 10,208 ft asl, a loss of 26,640 ft over 17 minutes and a distance of 112 nm.
A brief cruise of 2 minutes and 8 nm was flown beginning 4 miles east of KOGL Oglesby Airport.
The second descent started 3 miles southeast of 22LL Pike’s Airport, dropping from 10,002 ft asl to 7,143 ft asl, a decrease of 2,859 ft in 3 minutes while covering 15 nm.
A further short cruise of 2 minutes and 7 nm originated 3 miles southwest of 53IS Franklin Hospital Heliport.
Descent three began 2 miles northeast of C09 Morris Mun-Washburn, with the aircraft descending from 7,001 ft asl to 5,997 ft asl, a loss of 1,004 ft in 2 minutes over 7 nm.
The next cruise segment lasted 5 minutes and spanned 15 nm, starting 1 mile west of Shorewood.
Descent four started 1 mile north of Homer Glen, reducing altitude from 6,018 ft asl to 2,113 ft asl, a decrease of 3,906 ft in 3 minutes and covering 8 nm.
The final approach to runway 04R at KMDW Chicago Midway International Airport was conducted from the southwest, on a heading of 43.0° at 4 nm and 1,472 ft agl.
Landing on runway 04R was completed with a runway length of 5,922 ft; the threshold speed was 141 kt, touchdown occurred at 1,415 ft from the threshold with a speed of 135 kt, and the touchdown rate was minus 178 fpm. The touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 16 ft from the centreline. Weather at the time was a temperature of 73 °F, wind from 090° at 5 kt, a crosswind component of 4 kt and a headwind component of 4 kt. Total landing distance measured 3,943 ft, representing 67 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was noted as slightly misaligned by 25 ft from the centreline.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 1,302 nm, required 183 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 16,115 lbs of fuel.
The final approach to runway 04R at KMDW was flown from the southwest on a heading of 43.0° at 4 NM and 1,472 ft AGL. At the 1,000 ft gate the approach was assessed as unstable because the sink rate was too high.
During the threshold and flare phase the aircraft presented a good threshold height and a good threshold speed of 141 kt. Touchdown distance was good at 1,415 ft, touchdown speed was good at 135 kt and touchdown rate was good at minus 178 fpm. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 16 ft from the centreline.
The touchdown itself occurred within the expected parameters, with the aircraft touching down at the indicated speed and rate and the same slight 16-ft lateral offset from centreline. Total landing distance measured 3,943 ft, representing 67 % of the 5,922-ft runway length.
Rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 25 ft from the centreline, and the aircraft decelerated to a stop within the remaining runway distance.
The landing scored 96.5 % overall; focus on achieving a stabilized sink rate before the 1,000 ft gate and on tightening centreline alignment during touchdown and rollout to reduce the small lateral offsets.
